Secret Pet: Wishwing!

!!! The drop rate for the Inert Ash will increase in Patch 10.1.5 !!!

The Secret Finders have done it again!

Epic#0815 in Secret Finding Discord discovered a fair share of the key information needed to collect the pet Wishwing!



Remte was kind enough to transcribe the steps for us, outlined below:

1. Ash Feathers x 20

– To get Ash Feathers, you need to buy and use Ash Feather Amulet from Griftah at Obsidian Citadel on Wrathion's side. Coordinates: /way #2022 25.6 54.2 Griftah

The amulet will give you a 60-minute buff, during which time the Ash Feathers will spawn on the ground around you. They can spawn anywhere, so you're not limited to The Dragon Isles if you want to throw on the buff and go do other things!

2. Smoldering Phoenix Ash x 15

– To get Smoldering Phoenix Ash, you need to kill phoenix mobs anywhere in The Waking Shores.

I found my best luck making a circuit in Dragonbane's Keep until the Siege came through. Then I headed over to the Obsidian Citadel. The cliff above the magma section where the wyrm can spawn will 6 phoenix spawns that sit on the ledge/ on some outcroppings leading up to a cave. Then there are two phoenixes that will also fly overhead in a circuit that are in range of ranged attacks without mounting.

From Cepter in the comments:

[The] best place for me to farm the Phoenix mobs was actually /way #2022 64.66 29 above the rock there's 6-8 you can kill them fast then head around the area on the rocks more Phoenix sitting on rocks, instead of the ones flying around.

The drop rate for the Smoldering Phoenix Ash is about 4% at the locations indicated above. It will take you anywhere from 2.5-4 hours to collect all the ash depending on whether or not you've been saving the ash, as some of us have, for a just-in-case just like this.

3. Phoenix Ash Talisman

– To get Phoenix Ash Talisman, you need to head to Zektar (requires some zone campaign to see him) who sells it for 20x Inert Phoenix Ash, 10x Sacred Phoenix Ash, & the Glittering Phoenix Ember

From Wowhead:

Before you start, make sure you have done the Worlds of Draenor campaign quest at least 5/9. You can check from the achievement, 'Between Arak and a Hard Place'. You can also confirm this by going to Spires of Arak and check if you can see Zektar. You'll need Shadows Gather, Secrets of the Talonpriests, The Gods of Arak, Legacy of the Apexis, and Terokk's Legend.

Zektar is in the Spires of Arak, southeast of Veil Tarokk at /way #542 52.0 50.4 Zektar

3.1 Inert Phoenix Ash x 20

– To get Inert Phoenix Ash, you need to kill Scorching Elementals and Living Blazes in Ungoro Crater around the central caldera/volcano area.

These spawns will be a gray level for max characters, so they will be one-shotted! In 10.1.5 the droprate for the Inert Ash was greatly increased and added to the loot table for the Living Blazes.

3.2 Sacred Phoenix Ash x 10

– To get Sacred Phoenix Ash, you need to loot piles of ash all around Spires of Arak in urn/basket-shaped containers

These piles of ash will be in the magical smoking pots in areas with Arrakoa 'settlements'. I will include an image below where I personally found all these containers, but I did not find the ash at all these spawns.

You can sit at places that have multiple pots, or you can travel around the zone.

My suggestion for a route would be:

• Fly to the Apexis Excavation then head directly east to the Veil Akraz spawn point. Head into Zellek's Hut and check the container. This is where I found 3 of my 10 Ash!

• Head back to the Apexis Excavation and fly to Crow's Crook. There's a container in the hut next to the raven flightmaster.

• Now fly to Veil Terokk. There will be one container next to the flight master, one in the hut across from the Pet Battle NPC, then one in the open to the right of that hut in an altar area.

• From Veil Terokk fly on your mount to the group of three points to the south-east. I found a couple of ash in this location, and it will have three containers.

• Either had back to Veil Tarokk to take the flightpath to Talon's Watch, or head there directly on your mount. There will be two containers in the small area near the flightpath.

• Now fly over to Sethekk Hollow on your mount. There are five (maybe six?) containers in this area spread out throughout the ruins. There's a spot behind an unnamed Prophet mob that has two side-by-side.

• Optional: Head back to Talon Watch and fly down to the Pinchwhistle Gearworks and check the two locations indicated on the map.

• Fly back to Apexis Excavation and start again.

This farm took me a few hours, maybe less. It took roughly the same amount of time as the 'wait for a spawn' method, as someone I noticed doing this while I was flying around ended up in Un'goro with me not long after I finished the Sacred farm. If you take the wait farm, I would grab coordinates from wowhead for definite, confirmed spots, or just chill in Zellek's Hut. I found the most ash there (personally).

3.3 Glittering Phoenix Ember

– To get Glittering Phoenix Ember, you need to kill Alysrazor during Cataclysm Firelands' Timewalking. This does not appear to drop from the non-Timewalking version of the raid.

4. Final Step: Tarjin the Blind

The final step: Go to Tarjin the Blind with 20x Ash Feather, 15x Smoldering Phoenix Ash, and the Phoenix Ash Talisman, and he will have the "Tale of the Phoenix" quest for you to turn them in.

Tarjin is in The Waking Shores, and can be found at /way #2022 16.0 62.6 Tarjin the Blind

If you haven't completed any of Tarjin's Tales yet, you may need to do before you can turn your items in.


We at Xu-Fu's wish you all the best in your pet collecting endeavors, and happy battling!
